I think it would be 'convinient' if the basic distribution was kept to server-side - just because it can appear all the more transparent to the players. ...but I don't think we should make this a 'hard' requirement. If there are really cool things w...  [Read More]

Looks good Razor. In relation to OJP contributors not deleting files and /or directories in the respository. I would hope the CVS would allow us to set individual user rights appropiately - so that only admins can even attempt to delete stuff......  [Read More]

Deciding what the rules for the OJP are - or whether we need rules in the first place - needs to be done. And it needs to be conclusive enough for everyone to agree on. So I don't see a problem with getting a bit 'involved' with that. But - hehe - t...  [Read More]

Emon, Depending on how long I've been away, that's a LOT of catch up, which wouldn't be nessesary in other chat programs. ...I just think other chat programs are far more practical - and just make more sense. ...did the maker of IRC not know how t...  [Read More]

Well - looks like IRC is the fav. Although I agree with Razor - I think it's a pain in the arse it doesn't automatically detect when someone is idle and give you some kind of an audio alert when someone joins or becomes active again. I easiely find...  [Read More]

Yeah- I say use ICQ... About how we manage the two builds, well - I'm not overly fussed at the end of the day. I would have thought that we would really need to double-check all the features going into the OJP anyway - between us. In that case, th...  [Read More]

...well... There are two ways to approach the two distributions. btw - can we give the two distributions / builds different names? 1 and 2 don't really tell you much. I'd suggest: Dist. 1 = OJP Base Dist. 2 = OJP Plus ...or whatever. Someone can...  [Read More]

OK - thanks Recom. Well - from what I've read, I think the ideal set-up in the CVS system would be 'unreserved' check-outs. I guess we just need to give it a thorough testing and see how robust it is. It sounds like it should do the job... at least...  [Read More]

Yeap - sorry Razor, you were right - it was just a difference of terminology... Reserved and unreserved (CVS) as opposed to single and multiple (VSS). It'd be nice, recombinant, if you could confirm that for us - since you seem to be familiar wi...  [Read More]

AHA! Yes - 'unreserved' checkouts sounds like the CVS equivelent of the 'multiple' checkout concept I'm used to. And it looks like it's (reasonably) safe. I'd still be wise to do quick tests, but at least the concept is there... Phew! That's a reli...  [Read More]

I've got a message back from ChrisC3P0. He says he can give us hosting. He can't set up the forums until the website is up and running. (That's the policy). So - Emon - you may want to get in touch with Chris directly to sort out the website. Just...  [Read More]

Well - don't get me wrong - it has it's problems. Things can start to get unglued when you start branching stuff AS WELL as multiple check-outs! lol - but that's just asking for trouble anyway! At the end of the day, we've had very little trouble wi...  [Read More]

Subversion looks cool. I don't think it does anything like the 'multiple' checkout stuff I've been talking about (at least I couldn't see anything like that in the description - current or planned...) But it looks like it's an overall improvment on...  [Read More]

Multiple checkouts (in Visual SourceSafe) are 'similar' to an unlocked repository, except you still have the concept of checking out. Checking out a file doesn't stop other people checking out that same file, but it means: a. When you check out, yo...  [Read More]

Wudan, I totally agree - external files... ...WHERE possible! But many alterations can't be nice and neatly bundled up in seperate files. I certainly see very little of the changes meant for Distribution 1 being able to be kept to seperate files....  [Read More]

Also consider this: With a locked checkout system, individual users don't nessesarily HAVE to wait till that file is checked back in... You could just go ahead and adjust that file locally anyway - even if it is checked out. Just make sure you mark...  [Read More]

If we do these tests, and we find that it's fairly easy to start writing over other people's changes accidently, I think we may have to consider restricting it to (single) checkout's. ...either that, or discover a new, better - but still free and on...  [Read More]

I would CERTAINLY hope it does! Or we could end up in SERIOUS s**t! To me, it seems like going about things backwards anyway. Surely it would be easier to make the user at least mark when they start working on a file. (And at the point of marking,...  [Read More]

Hmm... Well, looks like the term 'multiple-checkouts' is a MicroShaft specific term. (I mainly use Visual SourceSafe) In CVS, the equivalent is basically an unlocked system which merges in changes the best it can. ...but since people don't have to...  [Read More]

About check in's and out's I think whatever CVS we end up using should have some kind of check-in / check-out system. (If it doesn't have that, it won't be a very good one...!) That doesn't mean only one person can modify a file at a time. If the C...  [Read More]
